ok so every stem is a male and the base is the female... i thought some ppl were sayin that some stems were male and some are female and thats why i was confused cause all stems go into the base

***Beats head against the wall*** Ok the standard configuration for a Km or Maya is a female bowl and a male stem as the bowl fits over the stem. Some Hookahs (Turkish and some Syrians as well as some older hookahs ) have the reverse configuration the bowl is male and the stem is female thus the bowl fits inside the stem. ( Please note this does not apply to the base or vase of the Hookah)

I hope this cleared up the confusion and to the bunch rattling about DNA and chromosomes I think there was too little chlorine in your gene pool. Help the guy with a valid explanation instead of throwing weird comments please.

while there were a few not so helpful comments, step down from the soapbox please. the original post was thus, "im confused in this topic.. whats a male hookah vs. a female hookah? or male/female bowls?" as posted the question could have referred to both the stem/bowl connection or the stem/vase connection. most of the answers included a reference to one or another of these connections, as in my reference to my mya qt having a male vase/female stem connection. i didn't address the stem/bowl connection. so, beat your head against the wall if you feel you must but please thoroughly read the "whole" posted question before berating others who are only trying to assist someone who has posted a question. but, thanks for taking the time to list the thread links. they were helpful. smoke happy.
